How to add a YouTube Video

Using a YouTube video is a great and easy way to link to
your videos through your YouTube account. This effective piece of interactivity
allows you to resize the video to any dimension.

Plus you have the option to display the video on the page
itself or to popup on screen.

-Load from
YouTube Embed Code – To load a YouTube video from its code, you will need
to paste its embedded code from the YouTube clip:

oWhen
you are on your YouTube clip, click ‘Share’ and then ‘Embed’. Copy the entire iFrame
code and paste this into ‘Load from YouTube Embed Code’

-Video ID
– Alternatively you are able to copy the Video ID directly from the URL. We will use the YouTube link
below as an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v
=wbNeIn3vVKM&feature=fvwrel

oTake
the code between v= and the ampersand &

oYou
are left with wbNeIn3vVKM and this is your Video ID

oPaste
this into the Video ID section in your overlay

Note: Video ID’s
are all different and some Video ID’s do not end with an ampersand. However the code
will remain after v=

-Display
–

o‘Popup’:
This requires a play button. When you click on your designated button, the
YouTube video will pop up in the middle of the screen. Please upload your play
button image to file manager. Tutorial video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBjoIJHBC_M

-Width and
height of video popup (pixels) – There is an automatic Width and Height,
however you can alter the dimensions. This is measured in pixels.

-Autoplay
on load –

o‘False’:
The video WILL NOT PLAY automatically when turning onto that page.

o‘True’:
The video WILL PLAY automatically when turning onto that page.

-Button
icon – full URL to button image – This is the image that appears on the page
to activate the YouTube video. We recommend using an image that directs the reader
to click on it. Alternatively, if there is an image already embedded into the PDF
that you would like to use as the play button, you can use the URL that is automatically
in this field for a transparent image.

-Rollover
icon – full URL to rollover image - This is the image that will appear once
the reader hovers over the play button icon. This image can be the same or
different to the play button icon.
